Scarborough has been a firm holiday favourite for centuries. It is one of Britain's original seaside resorts, with its two sandy beaches, exciting attractions and a rich history just waiting to be explored. Situated on the Yorkshire Coast, it is home to the world's first purpose-built museum, The Rotunda, which tells the story of the natural history of the rich fossil finds that can be found in the area. With many traditional seaside attractions, and boat trips to Whitby to view the seals, dolphins and the vast array of sea birds that live in the area, there is something to entertain all members of the family.

The stained glass centre, open daily, year-round, has a showroom and exhibition area where you can take a fused glass class, or simply browse the shop and gardens and take a relaxing break in their tearoom. If you prefer to paint your pottery than make it, then head over to Mrs Pots' Pots, where you can pottery paint or build a bear. Perfect for families of any age or artistic ability to while away some time, especially if the weather is not being kind! Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Scarborough Harbour, where colourful fishing boats, charming cafes, and lively entertainment create a bustling scene.

Enjoy fresh seafood, stroll along the promenade, or explore the quaint shops and boutiques. Scarborough is also home to a range of family-friendly attractions, including the SEA LIFE Scarborough, offering an up-close encounter with marine creatures, and the Alpamare Water Park, providing thrilling water slides and relaxing pools.
